The games that I like to play are basketball, badminton, chess and carrom board. We play games for education, entertainment, and fun. Games are of two types: indoor and outdoor games. Games could be a good exercise for our mind and body. The examples of indoor games are chess, Chinese checkers, ludo, carrom board, etc. and the examples of outdoor games are football, basketball, tennis, badminton, hockey, golf, etc. Outdoor games are generally played in an open environment. Games are played all over the world. Every country has its national game, ours was Dandi Biyo until recently it has been changed to volleyball. Here is a brief introduction about the games I like to play.
Basketball
Basketball is an outdoor game. We play basketball on the basketball court. In basketball, there is a net and a ball. We play basketball by dribbling and throwing the ball in the net to score and win the game. There are five players on each side.
Badminton
Badminton is an outdoor game. We play badminton on the badminton court. In badminton, there are 2 players and it’s played by hitting a cork with a racket. It is commonly played by people of all age groups.
Chess
Chess is an indoor game. We play chess on a chessboard. It has 64 square boxes. There are 32 pieces. Two people are needed to play this game. We play chess by its rules. Each character or piece of chess has its own move and the aim in the game is to checkmate the opponent's king! It’s a beautiful mind game.
Carrom board
Carrom board is an indoor game. We play carrom on the carrom board. There are 20 disk pieces including one striker and a queen. It has 9 black disk pieces and 9 white disk pieces. Two to Four players are needed for the game. We play carrom board by dropping all the pieces in the hole or a pocket until finally dropping the queen at last. A striker is used to strike other pieces.
